1.Pretty As You Please
Thirty candles on the birthday cake
She tries to blow 'em out
Does her best but leaves the one still burning
It's hard to figure out
It's hard to figure out she says
Picking up the knife
When she considers how the one still burning
Best describes her life
She runs her thumb along the knife blade laughing
And cuts the bad part away
Reverend father on the t.v. set bringing her to god
She never met him never held his hand
She thinks it's pretty odd
She thinks it's pretty odd she says, picking up the gun
Blue pistol in the screen light glowing
There's a job needs done
She runs her thumb along the gun sight laughing
And blows the bad part away
They found her hanging in the neighbor's barn
Swinging in the breeze
Long legged with her toes near touching
As pretty as you please
As pretty as you please she says picking up the axe
She's walking out beyond the woodpile claiming
She's gonna bring her back
She runs her thumb along the axe head laughing
And chops the bad part away
2.Astronaut
Interstellar overdrive is playing on her phonograph
She believes he's still alive out there in his hovercraft
Entering the atmosphere it shudders and it breaks apart
Fragments falling everywhere one hits her heart
Your lonely sister is praying for an astronaut
She rises from her knees to knock his helmet off
Walking in an open field she comes across an ankle bone
Takes it home and drills a hole and wears it on a leather thong
Having such an awful time accepting that he's really dead
Her astronaut's alive and well inside her head
Your lonely sister is praying for an astronaut
She rises from her knees to knock his helmet off
3.Fighter Pilot
Time marches on so i've heard and i won't contest it
Still i would like to believe that i've got a bit more time
I could tell this to you but i wouldn't try it
I'm diving down over you like a fighter pilot
But all the ammunition's gone
And all the engines have been blown
Watch it all go up in smoke oh no
I've been put off in my search for the perfect fortress
Still i can dream of a place where i know i'd win the fight
I could tell this to you but i wouldn't buy it
I'm diving down over you like a fighter pilot
But all the ammunition's gone
And all the engines have been blown
Watch it all go up in smoke oh no
4.Love Tractor
5.Your Amazing Life
It's a lunch buffet for one and an iced tea hold the lemon
Seems you overdid the fun and undersold the women
In your amazing life
You wore camouflage today because you wanted to be noticed
Chased your valentines away oh man you really showed us
With your amazing life
You never had a rhyme or reason a notion or a clue
A duck insisting that it's rabbit season
If days are numbered this one's two
When the sinners turn to salt and the tigers turn to butter
You swear o god it's not your fault while going through the
clutter
Of your amazing life
6.Sidewinder
The dirt farmer's wife is hanging her laundry on the line
She's wasting her life but other than that she's doing fine
The gut wagon rolls trailing a cloud of flies along
Holding her nose she's trying to hear the buzzard's song
Sidewinder spoiled my shot at my precious forget-me-not
It's a red letter day and we've all confessed to petty crimes
What can she say that hasn't been said a hundred times
The dirt farmer swears his fruit is as fresh as the early spring
What does he care that she's finding worms in everything
Sidewinder spoiled my shot at my precious forget-me-not
Claimjumper stole my spot next to me precious forget-me-not
The weed garden grows just outside the kitchen door
The dirt farmer knows it won't be in bloom like it was before
Sidewinder spoiled my shot at my precious forget-me-not
Claimjumper stole my spot next to me precious forget-me-not
7.Swallow You Down
I caught you lying again it's pretty easy if you know how to
play
So what you say we make it two out of three
I heard you're dying again well what disease have you contracted
today
Just as long as you don't give it to me as you don't give it to
me
You're waiting tables again and you're counting on a generous
tip
But then the tipper doesn't always come through
You're in the gables again getting ready for a fabulous trip
You'd better watch or it could happen to you
When the devil's minions take you down try to mark a path
Something i can follow
When the devil's minions hit the ground you can point and laugh
Cause i won't let them swallow you down
You're on the trestle again and your toes are hanging over the
edge
And your reflection's in the water below
We'll have to wrestle again but there's a wager that i'm willing
to hedge
Cause you can bet i won't be letting you go
When the devil's minions take you down try to mark a path
Something i can follow
When the devil's minions hit the ground you can point and laugh
Cause i won't let them swallow you down
8.X-tra Nipple
Scatman crothers he and i are brothers
He's got an x-tra nipple and i'm fascinated
That moms mabley i heard she had a baby
It's got an x-tra nipple and i'm fascinated
I'm so fascinated by these special people
Frank langella he's my kind of fella
He's got an x-tra nipple and i'm fascinated
Bo-bo-barigmy chicks they really dig me
I've got an x-tra nipple and they're fascinated
Here's my folded finger church and here's the steeple
I'm so fascinated by these special people
9.Magnus
Robots coming through the corn
Magnus, sir lancelot reborn
For you he lays it on the line
For you defending human kind
Built a little wider magnus, robot fighter
Robots up around the bend
Magnus, with you until the end
For you he takes it to the wall
For you annihilates ＆em all
Wound a little tighter magnus, robot fighter
Magnus is dreaming of the day
When robots won't get in the way
For you he plays it as it's dealt
For you he'll sacrifice himself
Lit a little brighter magnus, robot fighter
Sxary as a spider magnus, robot fighter
10.Casper's Coming Home
This is sadness and here's what you can do with it
Leave it in a dumpster for the garbage man to find
This is disappointment and here's what you can do with it
Punch it in the stomach and blacked both it's eyes
And rest assured that you don＆t have to worry
I can face your ghost alone
Turn off the telephone and close the curtains
Casper's coming home
This is sadness and here's what you can do with it
Tie it to a cinder block and shove it in the lake
This is disappointment and here's what you can do with it
Lay it out in a casket and drop it in a grave
And rest assured that you don＆t have to worry
I can face your ghost alone
Turn off the telephone and close the curtains
Casper's coming home
11.Kitten
The same sun shone through the window glass
The table was set with the good plates
You came down in your new easter dress
And he smiled when he said your name
He called you kitten
Who knows if you were right or not
And who cares if you lost or won
You kneel down arranging the wreath you brought
And your back is warmed by the same sun
He called you kitten
12.Between The Trees
As you sleep between the trees i lay above you dreaming
And in my bed amidst the leaves i can barely here you screaming
And all the things that frighten me are circling in the air
It's no surprise they're telling me that it's raining everywhere
As you sleep between the trees the apples have been falling
And as i turn toward the breeze i can hear your mother calling
And all the things that frighten me get tangled in my hair
It's no surprise they're telling me that it's raining everywhere
As you sleep between the trees i lay above you dreaming
